To help us understand what the impact of any changes to these schools might be, we have started discussions with the three school communities to understand areas of concern or local issues that we need to be aware of. "However, we are at a very early stage in exploring these ideas. To achieve this, we are considering increasing the size of the new building so all pupils currently in English-medium schools south of the river can attend.

"I'm keen to ensure that as many pupils as possible benefit from the fantastic new facilities that will be provided at the new school building in Newtown.

The change could see the council developing a community-focused school to serve a wider community, which could include all pupils currently attending Maesyrhandir and Treowen as well as Ysgol Calon y Dderwen.Ĭllr Pete Roberts, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said: "We want to provide a learning environment where pupils flourish and meet their full potential and where staff can teach in facilities that support the delivery of the new Curriculum for Wales. However, the council is now considering increasing the size of the building so that more pupils can attend and benefit from the new facilities that will better support the delivery of the new Curriculum for Wales. It is being developed adjacent to the North Powys Health and Well-being Campus, which will enable health and wellbeing services to be closely linked with the school. The new building is being designed as a community-focused school to ensure that pupils can benefit from a learning environment that will enable them to flourish and meet their full potential.

Powys County Council is looking to build a replacement building for Newtown's Ysgol Calon y Dderwen, which opened in September 2021 following the merger of Ladywell Green Infants School and Hafren Junior School. Exciting plans for a replacement primary school in north Powys could be changed so that more pupils can attend and benefit from the new facilities, the county council has said.
